What are Discover Days at Belhaven College?
It only takes one visit to see what sets Belhaven College apart from other
colleges. You can get that glimpse at one of our Discover Days.
Discover Days are sponsored by the Admission Office to give prospective students
and their parents a glimpse of who Belhaven is.
Students will have the opportunity to meet a professor in your major, take a tour of campus, and eat lunch in the dinning commons. You'll also have a chance to meet with your personal Admission Counselor and talk about the enrollment process including application and financial aid procedures.
As you spend the day with us ask yourself, "Can I see myself as a student on
this campus? Will the academic programs be challenging and prepare me for
the world after graduation? Is the Christian atmosphere sincere? Is
the faculty friendly?"
Give us a day and I think you'll know the answers to your questions.
You'll know if Belhaven is the place for you!
Please register online or contact us if you are interested in attending one of our Discover Days (admission@belhaven.edu / 1-800-960-5940). If you can not attend one of these, we invite you to come to campus when it is convenient for you. You can schedule individual campus visits at any time by calling our
Admission Office toll free number.
